United States Signals Intelligence System (USSS) to determine whether they

were conducted in accordance with applicable statutes,.Executive Orders, Attor­

ney General procedures, and Department of Defense and internal directives. The

and dissemination of communications of, or concerning, United States persons,

the reporting of possible violations of federal criminal' law contained in SIGINT

product, the testing of electronic equipment, and the applicability of the Foreign

a. ('C//eOMf~~) The OGC reviewed various intelligence activities of the

United States Signals Intelligence System (USSS) to determine whether they

were conducted in accordance with applicable statutes, Executive Orders, Attor­

ney General procedures, and Department of Defense and internal directives. The

OGC advised Agency elements on a number of questions, including the collection

- and dissemination of communications of, or concerning, United States persons,


the reporting of possible violations of federal criminal law contained in SIGINT
product, the testing of electronic equipment, and the applicability of the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). With few exceptions, the issues presented
were routine and indicated that the- operating elements understand the restric­
tions on SIGINT operations.

ed States Signals Intelligence System (USSS) to detennine whether they were con­
ducted in accordance with applicable statutes, Executive Orders, Attorney General
procedures, and Department of Defense and internal directives. The OGe advised
Agency elements on a number of questions, including the collection and dissemina­
tion of communications of, or concerning, United States persons, the reporting of pos­
sible violations of federal criminal law contained in SIGINT product, the testing of

(U) OGe Legal Authorities Briefing

(U/ /FOUO~ The SID has engaged the OGC to present a briefing on NSA's

legal authorities and restrictions to the entire SID workforce (civilians, military,

contractors and integrees). It is geared toward a broad understanding of the

3

fundamental legal principles underlying the SID mission. At the briefing, each
individual is given handouts containing a list of all the legal documents that must be
read on a yearly basis, procedures for handling a USSID-18 violation, and points of
contact for specific oversight issues in the SID Oversight and Compliance Office.
The first briefing was presented on 6 September; after a 2-:month hiatus related to
the September 2001 terrorist attacks, briefings resumed on 6 November. The goal is
to brief each person assigned to SID by the end of March 2002. Most individuals
assigned to NSA Headquarters will attend a live presentation of the briefing; those
assigned to the field and other persons unable to attend will be able to view the
presentation remotely or via videotape.

b. CD/ I1'OUQ>:-The OIG completed.h.VJ>Jnspecti6risdUrlng this quarter. The Office


ofl Jintelligence oversight (I/O) program was found to be in
need of improvement. It was recommended that the organization assign a point of
contact for I/O to serve as the local authority on I/O matters. Also, it was
recommended that the organization publish policy and procedures that include
refresher and newcomer training, reporting violations, and quarterly reporting.
Management concurred in the recommendations and indicated they would be
implemented by 1 June 2002. A joint inspector general team completed an
inspection of the Fort Gordon Regional Security Operations Center (GRSOC). The
I/O new employee and refresher training programs were found to meet 000 and
NSA requirements. The inspection team noted that I/O training reminders such as
posters and policy letters were sparse throughout GRSOC spaces. It was
recommended that the GRSOC and Service Cryptologic Elements design and post
I/O training reminders in conspicuous locations throughout the GRSOC.

c. (U/ /~ The OIG is providing guidance and assistance to various


organizations that have requested help in establishing intelligence oversight training
programs. These requests resulted from recommendations in our report entitled
Strategic Assessment oflnteIligence Oversight that we issued on 14 December 2001; it
was sent to all Agency directorates and associate directorates.

2. (U) GENERAL COUNSEL ACTIVITIES

u!1substantiated We share your deep concern that SIGINT activities must be conducted
both efficiently and in strict confonnity with the nation's laws and Constitution; and
funher, that we must remain constantly vigilant in this area. Early in Mr. Brenner's
tenure. our Director, Lt. Gen. Michael V. Hayden, gave him the opportunity to make this
point to the entire NSA workforce. using the Agency's internal television network. and
he did so on 22 July 2002 <hno:llwww.n.nsalIGlbtiefin2S.htm)).

(U/~ The Inspector General and the General Counsel continue to
exercise oversight of Agency activities by means of inspections, surveys, training,

1. (U) INSPECTOR GENERAL ACTIVITIES


a. ~ During this quarter, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) reviewed
various intelligence activities of the National Security Agency/Central
Security Service (NSA/CSS) to determine whether they were conducted in
accordance with applicable statutes, Executive Orders, Attorney General
procedures, and DoD and internal directives. With few exceptions, the issues
presented were routine and indicated that the operating elements
understand the restrictions on NSAlCSS activities.

b. (U//Ft}"U9+ The NSA OIG completed an inspection of the National Security


Operations Center (NSOC). The NSOC home page on NSA's intranet has a
new intelligence oversight (I/O) link containing the policy requirements
related to I/O training and compliance; hyperlinks to the basic I/O
documents; a reminder of the requirement to review the documents once a
year; an on-line test, and the capability to register individual compliance in
an I/O compliance database. The test results are used to indicate compliance
with the mandatory training. The on-line program has been a success story:
100-percent participation and a 100- percent pass rate by NSOC assignees.

A comp ete an
Inspection 0 t e.r e 'na epona ...,ecunty Operations Center (MRSOC),
Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, TX. The October 2000 joint
inspection of the MRSOC noted numerous deficiencies in the site's YO
program. The March 2003 inspection revealed that the I/O familiarization
process is still fragmented and individual responsibilities are not well
defined. This blurs accountability and does not track with the site's
governing oversight instruction, dated 15 November 2002. The process does
not validate compliance and has no mechanism to enforce individual
accountability. Consequently, coordinators and managers display little
interest in or commitment to I/O compliance. USSID 18 training continues to
be an issue because the MRSOC has not fully satisfied quarterly and annual
training requirements for the past several years. The OIG joint report made
several recommendations for improvement, which are being monitored for
implementation.

2. (U) GENERAL COUNSEL ACTIVITIES

~ The NSA Office of General Counsel (OGC) reviewed various


intelligence activities of the NSAlCSS to determine whether they were
conducted in accordance with applicable statutes, Executive Orders, Attorney
General procedures, and DoD and internal directives. The OGC advised
Agency elements on a number of questions, including the collection and
dissemination of communications of or concerning U.S. persons; the reporting
of possible violations of federal criminal law contained in SIGINT product;
the testing of electronic equipment; and the applicability of the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). With few exceptions, the issues
presented were routine and indicated that the operating elements
understand the restrictions on NSAlCSS activities. The aGC did not file any
reports with the Intelligence Oversight Board during this quarter.

(U) Intelligence Oversight Training

a. (U1ff'6U01-In March 2004, SID implemented its new I/O training program,

which allows employees to access the required documents and register their

compliance on the web. The new program reminds employees that,

(U) "The primary document governing NSA's intelligence activities is Executive

Order 12333. In addition, NSA employees are subject to DoD Regulation

5240.1-R ..., which imp]ement(s) the Executive Order. For SID employees,

USSID 18 provides the SIGINT minimization procedures required by these

documents and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Finally, NSCID 6 dermes

SIGINT and prescribes the conduct of SIGINT activities.­

b. (U/IFOUO) In response to the December 2001 NSA OIa report, Strategic

Assessment ofIntelligence Oversight, Agency leadership revised NSAlCSS

Directive 10-30, by including more detailed guidance about YO training and

quarterly reporting requirements. NSA issued the revised procedures as

NSAJCSS Policy 1-23. A copy of the procedures is enclosed.

2. (U) GENERAL COUNSEL ACTIVITIES

(~I) The NSAlCSS OGC reviewed various intelligence activities of the NSAlCSS
to determine whether they were conducted in accordance with applicable statutes,
EOs, AG procedures, and DoD and internal directives. The OGC advised Agency
elements on a number of questions, including the collection and dissemination of
communications of, or concerning U.S. persons; the reporting of possible violations
offederal criminal law contained in SIGINT product; the testing of electronic
equipment, and the applicability of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act
(FISA). With few exceptions, the issues presented were routine and indicated that
the operating elements understand the restrictions on NSAlCSS activities.
